Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2022

This year, the focus for the Government of Canada-Get Cyber Safe is "Ruining a cyber criminal's day" by teaching Canadians how to fight back against phishing scams.

Phishing is when criminals use fake emails to lure you into clicking on them and handing over your personal information, or installing malware on your device. It’s easy to avoid a scam email, but only once you know what to look for. Phishing is the third most common scam in Canada. 

During the month of October, Athabasca University will focus on empowering the university community with knowledge about different aspects of phishing scams to help the university community to prepare against, or recover from, all types of phishing.
